Agriculture of Egypt
Irrigation Systems secured a steady water supply for agricultural land. The Ptolemies renovated and enlarged existing irrigation systems like canals and dikes. This was critical in a region like Egypt, which relied on the Nile's periodic floods for reproduction.
Crop diversification significantly contributed to agricultural intensification. There was an endeavor under Ptolemaic control to vary the sorts of crops farmed. While basic crops like wheat and barley continued to be significant, other crops including flax, vegetables, and fruit trees were also grown.
Agriculture of Mesopotamia
Irrigation Systems secured a steady water supply for agricultural land. The rulers of Sumer and Babylon had wanted to secure the water in the Fertile Crescent for a more useful need as they wanted to survive to let everyone be fed and attained for the incoming battles against the other dynasties.
Crop diversification significantly contributed to agricultural intensification. There was an endeavor under Mesopotamian control to vary the sorts of crops farmed. While basic crops like wheat and barley were still grown.
From the 8th to the 15th century, the 'Islamic corridor' connecting Europe and Asia played a crucial role in enhancing agricultural methods in Spain, North Africa, and South Asia. The transfer of sugarcane from India led to its cultivation spreading to various regions globally. The introduction of coffee became widespread in the areas they traversed, and the adoption of the Persian water wheel, harnessing the power of draft animals for irrigation, gained popularity in farming practices.
Agriculture of Islam
Crop diversification significantly helped to agricultural intensification. There was an endeavor under Indian control to vary the sorts of crops farmed. They had grew many vegetables and tended to the field with cows and animals for perserverence and religous belief.
Agriculture of India
Agriculture pays a huge favour to the Modern Era. The surge of different types of crops and materials helped start biodiversity in the lands of our modern times, having access to spices and food at standby fast.
The Ways
Crop diversification significantly contributed to agricultural intensification. There was an endeavor under Greek control to vary the sorts of crops farmed. While basic crops like wheat and barley were still grown.

They made simples systems like the wheel trollies and pulley based systems to carry heavy loads up to certain needs in building.
The south made a temple in the city of Thanjavur in South India, they designed it to be a large granite Hindu temple from the Cholan Empire of India, being lead by the king/emperor at the time: Raja Raja Cholan (rough tranlsation: the King of Cholan King). He had made a 1 kilometer long ramp to push up a mantle-piece Granite stone on the top of the temple, as he had men, horses, and elephants pull the rock up to push it using wheels too. It still is here and people visit it a lot.
Raja Raja Cholan
Mesopotamians aren't well known for their scientific prowess although they were the ones who mastered the arts of physics in terms of heat, water, and architecture. They mastered the ideals of structural capablities with their famous Ziggurat buildings, which were major towers of power about the "city gods"
They created Sumerian Homes, named after their leader Sumer, they had built prismic-buildings of mud using research of how to dry this mud and mix it with certain materials to build such great architecture for modern day homes, they found ways to even grow grape groves on rooves.
Sumerian Homes
Mesopotamians used the first ever writing system according to the living world (as India came up with the first spoken language). They wrote in this symbol based language that uses triangles and straight lines known as Cuneiform. Cuneiform was used to write on mud tablets for easy record keeping as the rich and wealthy of Mesopotamia were known to become scribes.
Gilgamesh
They started the famous myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh. A story of redemption and morality shown through Gilgamesh, the king..
The Story: He is a horrible man who had divinity and he was mortal which was hard for him to decide with and was a serial sex offender.

They chose to go back to Uruk and be kings and chose to fight a demon king called “Humbaba”. Who is a terrifying adversary, who lives to be in a forest. He kills him as he enters the forest by beheading Humbaba, as they cut the trees and make a raft home with the head. Gilgamesh soon meats Ishtar, who is romantically loving to Gilgamesh, as Gilgamesh refuses, this causes a dramatic interacted, as a bull of the heavens is sent to kill Gilgamesh but in sadly way the bull dies and ishtar gets attacked leading to Enkidu’s own death from sickness on a curse from Ishtar. Gilgamesh choses to go on another journey for eternal life, to live as long as possible to enjoy life due to his friend’s death. This man goes through a lot, he meets a goddess of beer and wisdom, gets trapped in a whale, Urshanabi the god was killed by getting stoned to death. When he comes to the end, he meets the god, Utnapishtim and questions Gilgamesh that “was this worth it?” He learns the meaning of immortality and realises how harsh it is, he says the challenge to get it though was to stay awake for 6 days but he didn’t make it out of his fatigue from the trip. Gilgamesh fails and realises he must go home empty handed and he accepts his mortality and how he needs to be humble and wise. He wanted to overcome mortality and human limitations, he is a flawed hero.
Literacy have been a mainstay in Ancient Greece history.

The Odyssey
The Odyssey is a tale/poem that was written in 24 different books, by poet Homer. It tells a high-end adventurous tale of how Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, who has to get home after the Trojan Wars (which lasted from 1299 BCE - 1100 BCE). It is a classic tale of victory and being against all odds.
The Story: "The Odyssey does not follow a linear chronology. The reader begins in the middle of the tale, learning about previous events only through Odysseus’s retelling. The first four books set the scene in Ithaca. Penelope, Odysseus’s wife, and their young son, Telemachus, are powerless before her arrogant suitors as they despair of Odysseus’s return from the siege of Troy. Telemachus is searching for news of his father, who has not been heard from since he left for war nearly 20 years earlier. He journeys secretly to the Peloponnese and seeks out two men who fought with Odysseus in the war at Troy, Nestor and Menelaus, and discovers that his father is indeed still alive. The second four books (V–VIII) introduce the main character, Odysseus, as he is being released from captivity by the nymph Calypso on the island of Ogygia. He suffers a shipwreck and lands on the shore of Scheria, the land of the Phaeacians. In Books IX–XII Odysseus tells the Phaeacians of the harrowing journey he and his crew endured as they tried to find their way home—including their encounters with the lotus-eaters, Laestrygonians, and the sorceress Circe, their narrow escape from the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus, their ordeal navigating between Scylla and Charybdis, and the final shipwreck in which Odysseus is washed ashore on Ogygia alone. Finally, Books XIII–XXIV, the second half of the poem, find Odysseus back in Ithaca, facing unexpected obstacles and danger. He meets with his protector-goddess Athena and reveals himself first to his faithful swineherd Eumaeus and then to Telemachus before developing a complicated plan to dispose of the suitors. During Odysseus’s absence, Penelope resisted the importuning of more than a hundred suitors—who have stayed in Odysseus’s house, eating, drinking, and carousing while waiting for her to decide among them. In order to reunite with his wife, Odysseus kills them all, with the aid of Telemachus, Eumaeus, and Philoetius (a servant and cowherd)." - Writers of Britannica

Patroclus disguises himself as Achilles and leads the Greeks into battle only to be killed by Hector. Achilles, enraged, kills Hector in revenge." - Writers of SparkNotes
Known as the "Founders of Astronomy", they came up with complex theories on the universe and how everything works. They came up with ideas on the mortal plane we call Earth or the universe in complex theorems and verification processes.
The Geo-Centric Model
The Geocentric Model is a orbit model that is based on the ideal that as a planet, we don't orbit around the main star, the Sun, but everything revolves and orbits around our planet, the Earth. It was first explained by Plato, a Greek writer and philosopher.
The Model:
The Romans took their ideas from the other civilizations as they did with the other. They had taken Greek stories and made it their own, having translations of the Odyessy, and the Greek Origin Story in Latin with the Roman gods replacing the Greek ones (even if they are parallels of each other through religion) They write using the Latin prefixture alphabet, using letters like the following (which inspires the modern day writing alphabetical symbols in English)
Latin Scripture
The Romans took aspects of the others such as the Greeks and used their ideas to innovate their own. Such as updating a very complex version of the theories built by the Greeks and Egyptians in medicine, mathematics and space-based studies.
They made a complex version of the Geocentric Model, from the Greek-Egyptian-Roman geographer, Ptolemy, often mistakes by the common people as the general and king of Egypt. He made a complex drawing of the "world" as a set progressive rings surrounds it.
Architecture
They are known for their architecture, with scientific fruition in the understanding of structural physics with the understand and prowess behind their greatest architectural marvel: The Arch.
The arch was created for safe entry passways to stop using materials on gates and doors and make things aesthetically easier to build, they came with a stone system where the middle stone would be slightly larger to keep the volume to weight density stable so it won't collapse on itself.
Greek culture influenced the Egyptian rulers, and the period was marked by a mix of Egyptian and Greek traditions, known as Hellenistic culture. As a result, major contributions were made in science, in terms of mathematics using geometry and physics for their architecture and daily life.
Geometery
Greek mathematics, (influence of mathematics) especially geometry and algebra, had an effect throughout this time period. Euclid's, a Greek mathematician, writings were highly esteemed.
Euclid
Islamic age of Medina and Mecca brought the best parts of Science in the Ancient history, having intense change and innovation in medicine and physics with herbal based chemistry. We often give the future days of physics credit for aerodynamics but this civilization looked to the sky.
Aerodynamic Physics
The Islamic Civilization of Medina had created the first diagrams for the first flying machine, Leonardo Da-Vinci took these ideas and tried ot apply them to men to make flying wear that gives people wings. These drawings are quite detailed and showed an interesting outlook on the machine.
Abbas Ibn's first sketch of the theoretical Flying Machine.
The Islamic age also brought the surgence of the language of Arabic which stemmed into Urdu, both languages were used to write the Quran, the Islamic holy book and holy scripture which united and unified all in the middle-east, or Arabic subcultural area. They use this scripture for their language.
